About the Dogs and Their
Handlers
The therapy dogs and volunteers participating
in the Caring Canines Program are certified to
visit healthcare facilities such as hospitals,
nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. Our
therapy dogs are part of the Angel on a Leash
volunteer program, a charity of the
Westminster Kennel Club, and have received
training at one of the three nationally
recognized therapy dog organizations: Pet
Partners (formerly Delta Society), Therapy
Dogs International, or Good Dog Foundation.
The therapy dogs and their owners/handlers
must pass a series of comprehensive
evaluations that test behavior and skill level.
To participate in the Caring Canines Program,
all dogs must be at least a year old and the
handlers 18 years or older. They must also
follow strict hygiene standards set by the
program.

Sodalitas Canum Curantium
Maximae gratiae omnibus aguntur qui operam
suam in Canibus Curantibus profitentur
deliciisque qui unicuique gaudium et solacium
affert.

De Canibus et Domitoribus eorum
Canes therapeutici et ei qui operam suam in
Sodalitate Canum Curantium profitentur ad
talia aedificia visenda ad salutem pertinentia
confirmantur qualia valetudinaria, domus
infirmorum, et ubi membra corporum
restituuntur. Canes nostri therapeutici sunt
participes sodalitatis operam suam
profitentium Angelus in Copula nominatae,
benificentiae de Westminster Kennel Club, et
apud unam ex tribus sodalitatum ad canes
therapeuticos pertinentium omni patriae
cognitarum domiti sunt: Deliciarum Participes
(olim Societas Delta), Canes Therapeutici
Omnium Gentium, vel Canis Boni Dotatio.
Necesse est ut canes therapeutici eorumque
possessores domitoresve sequentiae
aestimationum absolutarum succedant et
quanti sint mores et artes eorum probatur. Ut
particeps sit Sodalitatis Canum Curantium,
omnes canes unum saltem et domitores
octodecim vel plures annos habere debent.
Regulis rigidis a sodalitate consitutis de
munditia oboedire quoque debent.
